Our poet has composed beautiful code
of Welcome to Queen Kapiolani, but we
are forced to deny the public the luxury
of its perusal because Of certain lines
that insinuate too broadly satirical COM

latter the traditional palate of Hawaii is
supposed TO have weakness.
Our poet is, unfortunately, prejudiced
as genius is apt TO be devoted to the beau
tiful ideals of the past in preference to
the enlightened practices of the present.

THE LAST PROPOsITIoN:Or SETTLE
MI\T.

1t was understood yesterday that the
bondholders' commissioners after com
municating with the Council of Bond
holders by cable had submitted another
proposition entirely different from the
first. The objectionable features of the
first proposition, such as asking forreduc-
ton of school funds and appropriations
for veterans, increasing the future in
terest on the debt The demand for the
State to pay expenses Of the commission,
and for a million in cash were removed,
the new propositi N thus stood with a
very large reduction on the principle.
We see no objections to this PROPOSE
ton as far as the outline characterizes it,
and our commissioners will doubtless ap-
preciale the great difference between
this and the first proposition. They
should also understand that while the
people would resent an eXorbitant de-
mand they will expect reasonable one
to be accepted

defined the character of the persecution
and tyranny perpetrated by the knights

from the noise and the audacity of the

justify the high-handed proceedings 1t
transpired, however, yesterday in the
boycott trial, that there are not over
1000 Knights in the city. One of the
order, member of the Boycott Com
mittee said that he could swear to the
belief that there were 600 Now, making
allowance for colored citizens and women,
We conclude that about 500 white men
undertook to terrorize the city, and that
of these "A large number must have been
mised. The lesson contained in this fact
is twofold; Ii teaches the folly of doing
wrong and the want of sense in submit
